Kalangitan: A Mobile Based Platform For Catholic Faith Evangelization

The purpose of this study was to promote evangelization through the use of technology. The proponents believed that Catholic faith are trailing off as well as people’s devotion with their religion. In order to bring back the faith, the proponents had developed KALANGITAN, an android mobile application, which certainly can be viewed only through Smartphones with android operating system. The application has both online and offline features which adds up interest and impact with the users. Object Oriented Analysis and Design methodology was utilized in this study. Analysis was conducted using different UML diagrams and for the design, Adobe Photoshop and Eclipse were employed. The evaluation was carried out based on the ISO 9126 criteria. The results of the evaluation revealed a high level of satisfaction on the users. However, some were not persuaded and noted some unnecessary features, details and mistakes for the improvement of the said mobile application. The user interface was convincing and the extra features such as; Biblical images, Bible, podcasts (digital media files) and search bar. Nonetheless, the small number of images, the version of the Bible and the lack of features were highly emphasized. The proponents recommend that every individual must learn how to trust. For Jesus said in John 14:6; “I am the way, the truth, and the Life.” People should realize and remember to whom we owe our life. They must give time to pray, to give thanks and praise and to remain in contact with Him.
